* God told the Israelites not to eat pig meat and to consider it unclean. Jews today still view pigs as unclean and do not eat pork.

|
* Pigs and hogs are raised on farms to be sold to other people for their meat.

|
* There is a kind of pig or hog that is not raised on farms but rather lives out in the wild; it is called a "wild boar." Boars have tusks and are considered to be very dangerous animals.
